Joint Sponsor for IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa - NVC Stage

[Oreo96 8]

Hello,

I have a quick question regarding the joint sponsor. Since we will need a joint sponsor for our immigration case, does the joint sponsor need to provide their last 3 years of Tax Returns or do they need to provide their Tax Return Transcripts? Along with that do they need to provide the W2's and/or 1099's from those years? Would they also need to submit a letter of employment as well as paystubs of their current income? I have been researching this topic and I see everyone is submitting different documents when it comes to the joint sponsor, some more than others. So I am not sure how much we need to actually submit or if we should go ahead and submit everything that I listed above? Is there an actual list that says what the joint sponsor needs to provide?

The requirements are the same for the primary sponsor and the joint sponsor.

Correct as to the actual question, but there are additional documents needed for joint sponsors.  Find the requirement in the I-864 instructions.  Become an A Student of THAT document before proceeding.
